Ok Boys and girls this is a hard post for me to make.  Those of you that play the guitar (or any instrument for that matter) will appreciate what I’m about to say. 

I went into Guitar Center today to buy strings for my oh so sexy Godin Multiac Steel Duet.  Guitar Center is like the Sams Club of the music world, it’s a candy store of gear piled floor to ceiling and being a gear head I got lost as I usually do for a few hours driving the sales guys nuts demo-ing new stuff.  I was looking for an electric, something vintage and used like an Ibanez RG770 or a Robin Ranger or perhaps a Japanese Strat or even a Fernandes Dragonfly.   None of which I found so after looking at amps, effects pedals and mics I wound up in the Acoustic Room.  I’m not really looking for an acoustic but I felt like (fweeping) a little.  After testing a few Breedloves , an Ovation (still not a fan) and a Fender cutaway I found a gorgeous shallow body acoustic made by Taylor called the T5.   Upon picking it up and “fweeping” a bit, the ground shook and a lightning bolt came out of the sky!

Have you ever picked up an instrument and it felt like and extension of you?  Aside from a wider neck which took all of ten minutes to adjust to this guitar felt like I had been playing it for 20 years.  The tone that emitted from it (into a kickass Fender acoustic amp) was near godlike.  In five minutes I had a crowd around me, I’m telling you this thing INSPIRED ME!  When I say it played like butter I really mean it played like BUTTAH!  man it plays nearly as fast as an electric.
